Soviet OT-34 should be flamethrower (?)

I'm asking here first, rather than posting directly in tech. support, but shouldn't the Soviet OT-34 tank (unit 2301) be classified as a flamethrowing unit? Even the model looks like that.

(I've tried attaching a flamethrowing animation, but it doesn't work of course, because the MG weapon point has a wrong pivot orientation.)

Yes, it should be. If Red Steel were out, this error would probably be reported. This is actually better - if they fix it before release.

I see, thanks. I was working on different parts of my mod at that time and did not notice that this was one of the v8.3's skeletal units. :oops:

I already reported it during beta some time ago and I just made a reminder (still not corrected)...

Actually your unit request in my mod thread got me to notice this, Mr. T! :)

A strong flamethrower unit for the Soviets seemed appropriate now and as I began preparations to change a T34 Mod.43 model, I've noticed it was already available (more or less) in the units file. Thank god I've already updated my units file to v8.3 or I would be doing some redundant modelling right now... :roll: :oops: :lol:

A soviet brigade was mostly wiped out early in the war as they were fed only what they had which were beans and then they used this flame equipment in battle
